Allegations regarding [Frank Marshall] Davis’ Communism are sure to infuriate the Left because of the influence Davis once had over our president. He was a drinking buddy of Barack Obama’s maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham, and spent time with young Obama. . . .

And yet when the allegations surfaced during the 2008 campaign, they went virtually unreported in the mainstream media. — Paul Kengor
